The U.S. has “given up its leadership role” on tech regulation, Warner says. “Our failure to act means Europeans have set the rules on privacy… you’ve got UK and Australia moving on content." — PolitiTweet.org

Warner is also taking aim at Trump’s repeated remarks linking Huawei to the trade war, saying U.S. credibility on intelligence and technology issues could be harmed if Trump uses the administration’s Huawei policy as “a trading chip." — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Mark Warner is speaking at CFR right now and is heavily criticizing China, saying in recent years his view of Beijing has soured after “many, many classified briefings” that have convinced him the government is using all its power to gain economic advantage over the U.S. — PolitiTweet.org

This is an example of network effects playing out in real life. A simple personal decision that’s initially about privacy, but it ultimately illustrates how successful platforms are able to retain their staying power. https://t.co/xX0fjoLKBz — PolitiTweet.org

Part of what makes deepfakes so worrisome is that people will always have an incentive to create them, meaning this is a problem that’ll probably never go away and will demand constant management and endless resources https://t.co/BMxv03u7lY — PolitiTweet.org

Meanwhile, Louisiana AG Landry was not shy about where he stood. He put up a slide with a bullet point saying “Google leverages market power to stifle competition across numerous markets” and said on the panel that Google "gets to pick winners and losers” in digital advertising. — PolitiTweet.org

Not everyone is rejoicing. Critics of this say some robocalls come from legitimate sources (banks, doctors, etc.) and the decision could lead to some helpful outreach being mistakenly blocked. To address it, the FCC is requiring there to be an appeal process for “good” calls. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s worth noting that carriers technically didn’t need this decision — consumers have been able to sign up for call blocking services for some time — but the FCC says not enough people knew about them and there was some uncertainty about whether these programs were legal. — PolitiTweet.org

Just now: The FCC has given phone companies a green light to switch on robocall blocking technologies by default. The move could curb scams and unwelcome interruptions, but there’s also no requirement these services be provided for free. So, keep a close eye on your phone bill. — PolitiTweet.org
